There is no way that this man is the same one as in the "Police Squad!" TV show. That guy was too young and is probably his son, the III.
Anyone else think this? I didn't want to change it just based on what makes sense without proof.

PS - Yes, I know the IMDB has it also, and I also believe that's an error.

- The credits on the show always mentioned Peter Lupus, no III. He would have been only 49 or 50 in 1982, and judging from more recent appearances, he's aged well anyway. So I don't see any reason to change it based merely on that, unless you can offer something more concrete (and yes, it's not impossible that they left out the III, but unlikely). Besides, I've seen the show, and while older and a bit smaller, the face and voice are that of Peter Lupus, and I rather doubt even his own son, whom I've never seen in any of the bit roles listed for him on IMdB, would look that much like him.

- P. S. Visit the link an anonymous user stuck at the bottom of the page (will move that to "External Links" later). Then rewatch your tapes of the show, if you have any. Hopefully that will ease your doubts (and of course, don't forget the wonders of make-up and hair dye. Good old Hollywood!) Aleal 05:10, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
- Also, a 1982 review of the series mentions Lupus being late of "Mission Impossible." I know secondary sources can be fallible, but in this case, based on the credits, the too striking similarities in appearance and voice to the same Peter Lupus from "Mission Impossible" and B 60s beefcake movies, and overall consensus from outside sources, I'm inclined to doubt that Norberg was played by the generally obscure Lupus III.

I stand corrected. I looked at the pics and that's him. My concern was that he was born in 1932 and appeared much younger in Police Squad (I have it on tape & DVD) and it's make-up, etc. Jimmylogan0916 05:13, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sly Stallone!?
Article suggests he resembles Sylvester Stallone. I would saw that his chiselled, classicaly handsome visage is much closer to Rock Hudson. Asa01 07:47, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Either way, it's opinion as to who he resembles, or indeed as to whether he's classically handsome. I removed the reference, and instead mentioned his "developed physique," which is both a better pairing with a mention of his height and a non-value judgement (since whether one likes him or not, to deny his build is silly). --Andrew, Aleal 17:20, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
